I just thought it was a clever formulation. Personally, I thinks it applies to any particular set of beliefs. What I mean is this. An informed person can make a the case for certain facts, but an ignorant person can still choose not to be convinced. What Drich did was make the old proverb even more interesting. Not only does the ignorant person choose not to be convinced he is actively hostile against anyone that goes against his assessment.
What I notice is that Drich presents his case respectfully and supports his arguements to the best of his understanding. Whether he is right or wrong is besides the point. For all his effort, he gets maligned, insulted and his claims are mocked. He doesn't stoop to that level. Point is a good many of the nihilists here are not just unconvinced. They are openly hostile to anyone who believes in God and they reason from that hate.
